I understood the threat was from North Korea.
KJU continually speaks of reuniting the Korean "peoples" under his leadership. More and more missiles takes away South Korea's ability to defend against them.
A news report out of Japan says that North Korea will use chem weapons first to create panic and, then, a lot of artillery to squash military targets.
The threat of North Korea artillery, and instability, has promoted the move of the American forces to South of Seoul.
AND, then there is China pushing to the east to control all of the waters, islands, and passageways that its warships need to get to the Pacific. They say 90% of the world's shipping trade go through those waters.
With the Artic ice receding along Russia's north coast, another passage is opening up for shipping to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific. But, that has not fully developed and I imagine the Russians will control that.
Then their is the Black Sea, Gulf of Aden, and the Mediterranean issues...(sigh)
Rockstar...The Japanese and the Koreans are the ones stressing.
